Danny's wealth of knowledge is mind blowing and for him to share it with the world is equally mind blowing. I know many in their professions will not share their knowledge and skills...thank you Danny!
Yes indeed!! Thank you for this 👍🏻
I need to take my 383 over to him, instead of having to ship to Golem Engine who I bought it from. I have total confidence that he would do a great job. I just wish I had the money for it right now. :(
I am jealous of how easy this is, being a former motorcycle mechanic and performing valve adjustments was a PITA since the shims were below the buckets so to change or even check the shim size youd have to remove the cam and then the bucket+ shim. worst part was the fact that the shims were smaller than a dime to, so if you dropped one while changing them you would be hard pressed to find it.
East Coast JOE here ,absolutely love the content, love the live show. I am a mechanic here on the East Coast but I think I'm becoming a cylinder head master.....thanks
Right on!!
Love the live stream..you made a few mistakes ..just live stream nervous
Ahh the good old days of shims 😃 Better than just buckets without shims and removing camshafts. Thanks for sharing 👍
Last time I did a previa engine rebuild I had so much issues asking the dealer for this pucks ,they had no idea what I was talking about . This is craft man at its finest.👍
You want a real pain in the backside valve clearance adjustment.....Shim UNDER bucket on most sportbikes.
You have to take the bike half apart just to get access to the valve train and even then, some have no room to work.
In addition, once you get the clearance measurements, you have to pull the cams to adjust any that are out of spec.
Gaaahh!!!!!
The plus side is you won't spit a shim if you over rev it like can happen with shim over bucket.
Also, they don't go out of spec very often so mostly need no adjustment when you check the clearances.
I love your videos Faye. Keep up the awesome.
Ok! This is going to make me watch the vid many times..
Thanks, again!
..always remove and replace to same position.. yes!
This is enjoyable, as well as educational, keep the great videos coming, thanks Faye, you are the best.
Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time to show how this is done!
I feel like I could watch you two talk about anything you are passionate about.
Please keep it going!
Great vid!!! Very informative and peppy lol 💪 the Supra saga continues ☀️
Awesome video, Faye. That head is going to be a work of art by the time you two get finished with it.
Yet again brilliant makes the difference when you got all the tools
Once again thanks you for sharing all this knowledge !!
Great video Faye ! I learned something new today
Very good! Love the knowledge!! Thanks!
Its Unkle Danny...
Moring Faye...great video...keep em coming...see yah next Livestream..
These are great videos. Valve shimming is a big part of the Japanese performance experience lol.
This is the best solid tappet design. It holds an adjustment a long time. Toyota and Volvo shim/buckets seem to hold an adjustment almost forever.
Hi,
Found your channel by chance. I love your content, passion and energy. I feel quiet lucky as I get to watch all your older videos to catch up. Thank you pretty lady, keep doing what you do!
Great video Faye and Danny. This is quite a procedure, you make it look easy. Love the chicken.
I typically do all my engine work in the woods with my juice and my pet hyena 😂
Great Monday morning update Faye!!
Have a Supra week......wash your hands 👏🏾 😀
🐓🐓
I'm jealous of Danny getting to spend so much time with Faye. ..love you guys.
I hope you each make 1 million bucks. Each Each episode is worth every penny God bless you and keep on going and stay away from the coronavirus
Nice. I can't wait for this rain to be done so I can get back to clean ing my spare cylinder head. Awesome tips btw
This is my world, the world of hundredths and thousandths of (mm). In Germany we have metric system.
Mr. Soliz is an absolute expert whom I would very much like to learn from.
The result of his care are definitely engines that run like a bee..... Thank you for sharing this with us !
Talk about a trip into the past.
I remember teaching others how to adjust lash on "shims & buckets" 40yrs ago...
My favorite demonstrator was a 24 valve 6 cylinder.
Old skills are new again.
Just like a Duesenberg straight 8 or a Kawasaki 1000 motorcycle. No lock-nuts to slip but takes longer. LOTS longer. Bless you for staying with inline motor and not just wedging in a V6 or 8.
Seems very tedious, but it'll be worth it. Thanks for the vid Faye. Stay healthy.
Great video series. I just adjusted my 2JZ last night. New cams, stem seals, 12 new shims, mix and match with the old ones and got them pretty much middle of spec range, +- 0,01 mm. Backbreaking job to do in a car...
Yes, it's so hard isn't it?!!! Good for you to get through it!!!
Damn, that's old school; remind me of my first years on the highschool. Knowledge and practice it's what i see there; nice.
Seeing those feeler gauges triggered a flashback to me laying under my old volkswagen bug covered in oil.
Oh no!! Valve adjust haha!!
yup this is awsome cant wait to hear this 7m start to rip!!!!
Love your videos, including your chickens!
Faye , I just to take a minute to tell you that i love your channel and to please stay safe as we go through this corona virus .
Thank you so so much, Jeremy!!!
@@FayeHadley welcome. anything for you. Btw , do you have an email address ? lmk.
My 1980 Volkswagen rabbit had the same kind of valve adjustments , Very cool video thanks for the great information Faye and Danny
Yes!! Mine did too (when she still had the factory engine - a 1.5l diesel!) which is how I first learned about these!!!
Mine was a 1.6 L gasoline engine had the Bosch continuous injection system , five speed transmission mechanical breaker points in the distributor fun to drive ,It would easily shame a lot of the American made economy cars of the 80s
Again Faye, thanks and give Danny our best please.
Really interesting valve adjustment here . Your Supra is going to have the smoothest running engine.
I really hope so!!!!😁
Really glad I watched this defiantly gonna help me install my bc valvetrain!!
Awesome!!! Wow thank you!!!😃
So much easier to do kind of adjustment with head off of the engine. It takes a lot of patience with the head on the engine bending at weird angles up against the fire wall. Love your show!
So true - I have actually done this in a car several times and it was ROUGH!!!
This is near impossible on Subarus with the head in the car. This is the stuff I love. Thanks for the videos Faye.
Really good video. Danny is a great machinist. And he obviously knows his stuff. He is very informative, Faye you should stick to him like glue. He can teach a wealth of engine building knowledge to you. Especially since you run a shop.
Beautiful like always great video
Yes senpai noticed me❣️❣️❣️
This will be great information next time I'm doing my valve adjustment in the middle of the woods!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA EXACTLY!!!
Great stuff!
This was interesting. I like how Danny reassured you that you were right. When I would adjust the valves on my ‘73 MGB with my Dad it was very different. I just remember leaving the car in gear, rocking it until a certain number would rise to the top, then checking the gap with the same tool y’all were using. Were we adjusting something different or just the engine is built different? Either way it’s cool learning as you go. I think you need a barrette for your chickens’ hair that looks like sunglasses. That would be a riot. 🕶
Oh there are many different ways that valves are adjusted! Did yours have a threaded rod with adjusting nuts maybe?? I don't think I have worked on anything that old in a long time 😅👍🏻 that's so rad! You've had some really cool experiences. I always enjoy your comments:)
Faye, this was in the mid-80’s (I’m so old), from memory, there was a nut to turn to adjust the clearance. We also tuned the twin carburetors by listening to the pitch with a drinking straw to your ear. Where else can I learn about the newer stuff - by watching your videos.
I love this video!!
I have a container of shims from junk heads that got scrapped. It makes it nice when changing cams. I have yet to have to buy any new shims in the 3 different cam setups.
Also i can show my wife this video so she can see i am not just keeping parts for no reason.
Another good video with you and Danny.
Wonderful old green painted milling machine.
Sounds so good.
Probably weighs a ton. Old and indestructible.
Great video Faye
Thank you 😁
Great video
Kool learn something new every day.
Thank you for making videos. have 27 roadster p.u. but lookin to tade or partial into something with hair dryers on it
Ok, now i definitely want to send my cylinder head to you two!! Wish i had the skills and talent to do it my self (lol) but I'd gladly pay for expert service!
Bring it on by 👍🏻😁
@@FayeHadley I'd love to! Only a 12 hr drive tho! Lpl
mm world :D
funniest valves adjustment related video so far
Thank you!!!!👍🏻
Thank you great content...Faye.
OMG! Danny that's the same machine I learned on in high school in shop class!
COOOOOL!!!!!
Good practice on reusing shims on a bucket and shim setup is to give them a light lap on a machinists stone before measuring to make sure no no high spots are on them 👌
my 750 honda twin cam had the same kind shims, i used a surface grinder to "thin" them as needed.
I just adjusted my valves too 👍🍻 hot valve lashing isn't fun but these pucks look like a nightmare 🤙🐔🐔
Awesome videos. Wish females were into mechanics back in the '60's when I was working on cars...
They probably were!! The auto shop class teacher in "Grease" was a lady!!
Great video...👍 👊 😎
Thanks 👍
Theres the fluffy pollo at the end at 9:34
Danny is teaching yea alot, soon you'll be re manufacturing engines like new.
Just I love my job same like you.......... very useful 👍 information for who's working thus
Hey Faye, Great video great series you and Danny are like Abbott and Costello almost as funny but cuter missed the live streams live but did watch them they were great don’t see the monetization don’t get it🤔 stay busy stay safe🐔👍
I’ve read many Facebook warriors say don’t sand down shims... interested to see you guys do.
Cool. I've never done one of these, but I'd like to expand my repertoire beyond big American V8s. If it ain't got push rods, I'm clueless. I've got to do this to my 5VZ in the Taco. I've heard they are slightly different, but this should give me a good start.
I'm here for the knowledge and the chickens. But most of all I'm here for Fayes laughs and giggles..
😁😁😁
I've said this before, great video series. Now it's time for me to collect chicken eggs, thanks for the inspiration
Awesome vid thank you! Can you show a mk1 vw 1.8 head from beginning to end sometime? Also I can’t find a complete vw block rebuild including the IM shaft bearings. If you have I can’t find it!
The next time I'm adjusting valves out in the woods I'll remember you guys
😂😂😂😂😂 excellent 👍
You can use the solid lifters from the 1NZ (Echo?) in the 7M too if you want to ditch the buckets. Not really needed for a DD... but still good info if you're planning on uhhhhhhhh very high rpm spirited driving.
Didn't know!!! Cool tip thank you!!!
Hmm. All these awesome videos with Danny.......The head guy at my machine shop won't even talk to me when I drop my heads off 🤔
Hi there Faye, love the video since I have to do the shims on my truck. I was wondering what grit sand paper you used on the shim? Also thank you Danny for sharing your knowledge.
This was a very worn 180 grit!
I like this guy i think I might change machine shops
I did the valve lash on my isuzu showing my son in the suv setting them cold then checking again hot for tolerances between hot/cold these new alum. heads will expand more then cast iron so tolerances are critical those pucks look like a cheap way to do it by the manf. can just see them fly out mine has bolts with lock nuts on top with loc tight old timers remember the bolt on rockers that tightened to tolerances had a 302 v-8 that beat them so bad that they worn down and had to be replaced motor was too small to haul around a f-100 full size truck with a 8ft bed lasted 350,000 miles before giving up did a rebuild on it lessons learned never do one on a block with that many miles on it even after having it checked cleaned it stilled cracked a cly wall
Faye or Danny, could you tell me what to use on oxidized cast aluminum, head and block, to make it look new again, preferably a spray on and rinse off?
Just curious how the valve seating seems to be after having straightened the head, if that distorted any of the seat surfaces into a slight oblong shape and had to be touched up or if it never moved those specs from the prior valve/seat grinding you had done the first go around rebuilding the engine ?
Punk rock chicken, 😁😁😁great video
Can't wait to hear that engine SCREAM! Please avoid any walls.😁
I will try much harder this time!!😁
Hi Faye I have an 1990 sho ford engine using that type of shim bucket system
My friends SHO was the same method. 👍
Question I have 2005 sequioa with tapping noise following with acceleration any advise
Head-I Master & His Padawan 😁
Is that a push rod engine? I've never seen those pucks, very different from Hondas.
Glad you are including each phase of the rebuild!
no. its an overhead cam. valve->shim->bucket/cap->cam. this reduces weight and allows high revs. my I4 japanese motorcyle engine is just like this. just smaller.
@@orbitalair2103 ah gotcha, figured Toyota would be... I've never had to rebuild a head or even fully remove cams.
That said, one of my projects needs new valve guides and seals - so I'm learning a lot. Thanks for the reply!
What grit sandpaper were you using to shave down that shim?
Good video guys I wondering if you can help me out I fixing 89 toyota supra 3.0 nonturbo and I mixed the shims can you help me with the shim diagram please
Yep! www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/ there ya go!😀👍🏻
Not sure what toyota recommends but probably re check those after first oil change and probably a quick change on the oil after 500-600miles i probably would change oil after the first hour of engine time due too being rebuilt and flush out some breakin material before runin for the 500 -600miles after that the wear is much less somthing ive noticed after servicing new machines is that the first service is critical .iam not sure but some companies have a short test run with the engine and they might changes the oil or have a recycler or somthin....now im curious
Are these hydraulic or solid lifters?this seem very similar to the lifter setup in my SR20DET.
I've got some questions. (I'm doing this to my tacoma 3.4 right now at this very moment).
1. How critical is the position of the cam when checking the clearance? The fsm starts at tdc, then turn 240°, then again 240°. I had to start over like six times because I'm old and easily cornfused. 2.What grit are you finishing the shims with?
Hi what would cause the bucket clearance to be too wide?
Just did this on my 95 3.0 4x4 4runner..passenger #1 exhaust cam lobe was wiped out. Every single exhaust valve was burned.. I.E. leak down text was leaking compression bad through exhaust. Decked the heads new cam,,valve seats,in&ex valves,guides,shims adjusted properly. Tested and cleaned all injectors. Got it all back together and it seems to be running pretty good. Although I think I need to adjust valves again after about 150miles of driving. I can hear some ticking on drivers side and can even feel it through the valve cover. Started just today. Fuck. I was hoping to never open those valve covers again! Also I exhaust wrapped the crossover pipe and manifolds where the wrap around the back corners of heads.
I learned this for Subaru bucket lifters. They have the thickness underneath the bucket. So it not something you want to mix up....oops😂(clack clack clack)
Do the shims get to be a different thickness after years of use or is it factory? I'm thinking from factory, all the exhaust would be one thickness and all the intake would be one thickness.
That looked so Silkie.
i use hardened shim stock under the buckets i just cut then in circles
Thanks for sharing some of the uncut video on your Patreon. It's cool to see how you edit it down. I think you could do longer videos and people would watch them. Is 10 minutes a RUclips suggested time?
Yes!!! 10 minutes is the golden length!!
✝️🇺🇸👍 can't wait to watch
Gee Faye, Thanks for going over time on the loves💖and comments. You really work hard! Ten Chickens! 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
Hi, where can I buy some shims for my 1MZFE am needing the thickest I can find since my 96 Camry has over 400 K on it, runs smoothly, absolutely no oil consumption or sludge between changes, just has the ticking from valve adjustment being on the loose side, really DON'T want to go to Toyota, they're gna want alot of money for em, please tell me where I can purchase some
